The Oklahoma City Thunder forward is the favorite for NBA MVP. He does things like drop 41 points on a helpless team like the Phoenix Suns. He wins gold medals and scoring titles and Western Conference championships.

After the Thunder's 102-90 win Monday against the Suns, in which Durant scored 27 points in the second half, he received a text message from his grandmother. And as grandmothers are wont to do, the message was half-praise and half-scold. He posted the conversation on his Instagram account:

"Thunder struck again& the Sun(s) went down ( great W)Love u g mom . Kev Kev stop cussing so much they be showing u when u do," his grandmother said in the message.

"Haha sorry grandma I be so emotional, I love u," Durant replied.

Grandmother knows best, Kevin. Don't make her wash your mouth out with soap.
